Flowers of the World Series: Flowers in Bloom

Chapter 21 Mist

Li Jinchen received an informant that the killer who murdered Xiao Ping had already confessed, but when doing this in the future, he needs someone to stand up.

Li Jinchen specially brought Zuixiangju's pastries to the door of Dingguohou's mansion, and ordered Mu Xin to wait at the door.The Xiao family is not allowed to enter Dingguohou's mansion.

"Old butler, where's the master?"

"The master is playing chess with the lady in the tea room." The old housekeeper said happily.

"This is the pastry from Zuixiangju." Li Jinchen handed over the pastry and walked towards the tea room.It is said that Ding Guohou sent his young daughter to Huashen Villa ten years ago, and he never expected to see his master's beloved daughter before he left. It is also fate.

At the door of the tea room, Li Jinchen did not go in to disturb the mother and son who were playing chess, but waited outside.Presumably there is a lot to say between the long-lost mother and daughter.She had no chance to experience it.

"Oh, I lost again." The voice was so familiar.

"Master." Li Jinchen bowed deeply in the corridor, no matter what time or how many times she has been here, she is always so courteous.

"Chen'er, you are here!" Zhan Wushuang's voice was so brisk, "Come here quickly. As expected, playing chess with you is the most interesting. This girl is a martial idiot, but not a chess player."

Li Jinchen entered the door but saw the chivalrous woman on the street that day. "It's you?"

"Why, have you seen it?" Zhan Wushuang was curious.

"A few days ago, I ran into a heroine on the street. I didn't expect it to be the beloved daughter of the master. The heroine must be Zhan Lian." The master hates the Xiao family so much, and the daughter's name does not bear the husband's surname.

"Yeah, my daughter had a meal at the prince's mansion." Zhan Lian laughed.

"Lian'er, you are naughty, how can you be so rude."

"Master, it's all right. Chen'er is very envious of the informality of the children of the Jianghu."

"Look at them." Zhan Wushuang scolded.

Zhan Lian stuck out her tongue, "The daughter has retired, you can talk about the friendship between master and apprentice." Zhan Lian withdrew from the house but did not go far, she wanted to know what Li Jinchen said to her mother.

Zhan Wushuang pointed to look forward to. "Chen'er, come play chess with me."

Li Jinchen sat down, received the sunspots, and said as he placed them: "Master, this apprentice has hired a food and grass escort, and will be leaving in a few days."

"The news of escorting food and grass, traveling with the fourth prince, and provoking Situ Qing has spread all over the street. It's hard not to know. Chen'er, you are a sensible child. I respect your choice as a teacher. However, this trip Be extremely careful." Zhan Wushuang dropped Baizi, and Heizi was immediately in danger.

"Master, this time I'm going to investigate an old case by the way." Li Jinchen said slowly, "The case of General Xiao Ping's bizarre and violent death."

Slap.Pieces fell on the chessboard and broke up the set game.

Zhan Wushuang looked gloomy, got up and walked out.

With a plop, Li Jinchen fell to his knees, "Master, the evidence is at the border of Beidi, and this disciple will bring it back this time. Would you like to stand up and testify against the criminal? It's just to appease General Xiao's undead."

"Wu Shuang is not an official. You are talented and intelligent. You were also accepted as a disciple by the emptiness of your knees back then. The fate between you and me as a mentor and apprentice should also be exhausted. Wu Shuang will never participate in government affairs and will not participate in your layout."

"Master!" Li Jinchen called Zhan Wushuang, "Jinchen has absolutely no intention of involving you in the fight for the succession! Jinchen also doesn't intend to win the succession! Jinchen just doesn't want the soldiers at the border to be chilled, and he doesn't want General Xiao to die unjustly outside the Great Wall. Guilty People should obey the law, right?"

Zhan Wushuang trembled with his hands, but finally threw up his sleeves and left.When I went out, I ran into Zhan Lian.

"Mother, is what she said true?" Zhan Lian's eyes were red.My father is obviously Xiao Ping, but he has inherited his mother's surname. My mother has kept my father's death secret for so many years. How much of the inside story is I not aware of?What is Li Jinchen's purpose for saying these words today?Zhan Lian suddenly hated herself why she didn't come back earlier, how could she see clearly the inside story in this fog?

"Lian'er, let's go for a walk with mother." Zhan Wushuang put his hand on Zhan Lian's, trembling.

Zhan Lian couldn't bear that her mother, who was once so beautiful, would be so helpless.

Zhan Lian nodded silently.

The old butler sent Li Jinchen out.Li Jinchen looked at Mu Xin and shook his head, unable to calm down.Mu Xin could only silently follow behind her.

"Mother, how did father die when he fell to the ground?" Zhan Lian finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Lian'er, since some things are over, they are over. There is no objection or doubt about your father's death in battle. No matter what purpose Li Jinchen did, it has nothing to do with my Dingguohoufu."

"Mother..." Zhan Lian wanted to say something, but swallowed it down, "Before going down the mountain, the master told me to keep an eye on Li Jinchen. This time Li Jinchen will escort the food, and my daughter will go with her."

Zhan Wushuang stared at Zhan Lian's eyes for a long time, "If your master asks, you can go. Be careful on the road. The fourth prince is not a kind person. Li Jinchen is pure in nature, and you can discuss things with her. You should send letters back regularly Report that you are safe." Zhan Wushuang patted the back of his daughter's hand to comfort her and comfort himself.

Let's go, leaving the imperial capital may not be a bad thing.After Xiao Ping's death, Zhan Wushuang was tired and didn't want to argue in court.But she still refused to accept, and Xiao Ping just died like that.Her peaceful heart was completely disturbed by Li Jinchen's words.

It was night, and Zhan Lian quietly slipped into Chu Palace.

When Zhan Lian was eavesdropping outside the door, Li Jinchen knew about it. She had expected that Zhan Lian would be involved.If she can't get her master to stand up, then her beloved daughter will definitely be able to.

Li Jinchen leaned on the tiger leather chair, squinted his eyes and listened to the piano, and Zhan Lian just appeared in the courtyard.

"Li Jinchen, I have something to ask you." Zhanlian appeared behind Qinniang holding a sword.Li Jinchen signaled Qinniang to back down, but Qinniang was not surprised, she got up calmly and retreated out, and before leaving, she didn't forget to check the number of visitors.

"You told my mother today, but is it true? There is something hidden about my father's death?" Zhan Lian asked with a cold face.

"You should ask your mother about it. She has more say than me. Besides, she can only stand up." Li Jinchen said every word.

"Playing tricks! I see you have ulterior motives!" Zhan Lian made a gesture to chop, but Mu Xin's knife was already in front of Li Jinchen.

Of course, Zhan Lian didn't really want to kill her, she wanted to test how much she could ask.

"Girl, go back, the prince is tired and needs to rest!" Mu Xin persuaded in a slow voice. "You don't want to meddle in this matter, only Hou Ye will come forward."

"The evidence is in Beidi? How can I trust you?"

"Believe it or not, girl, you are here too." Li Jinchen stood up from the chair and signaled Mu Xin to put away the knife, "Believe it or not, the evidence is in Beidi, I will definitely bring it back when I go, and I hope the girl can help convince the master to stand Come out and testify against the guilty."

"Then who killed my father?"

"I don't know either. You can only know if you find evidence." Li Jinchen said sincerely.

"My mother said that you are pure in heart. I don't think so. I can't trust you. I want to go to Beidi with you. Get the evidence yourself. If you have half a lie, don't blame the sword in my hand for not letting you." The sword was put into the box, and Zhan Lian stayed The next sentence left.
